May 5, 2008It's official. I'm American! |
|
On Friday, my wife and I were officially sworn in as American citizens. We drove out to Hartford with our 2 oldest kids and after receiving our certificates headed to the Capitol building for an amazing tour/meet 'n greet (including registering to vote)
I've captured the experience in more detail, using our new client, Linkory. If you are so inclined, check it out, along with a video and some photos.
I also tweeted about it and someone mentioned that I'm the first person ever to tweet about this kind of memory (you know how much I love being first - grin)
Finally, I have to thank Cam Beck for a beautiful gift (it's a Marine Corps 230th Anniversary Silver Dollar). Cam is testament to both the power of the social media community and what it is to be American.

I don't know if you remember what I said to you on Twitter, but I truly believe that we both are better as a result of your citizenship. We're lucky to have you.

Congrats Joseph. I know what it takes to get this far. Did you keep dual citizenship with SA? My husband is just now able to apply for US citizenship and wants to keep his SA citizenship too.

when can we expect the Canadian Citizenship announcement?
There's nothing wrong with dual citizenship ;)
Seriously, many congrats. They are lucky to have you (and I mean that in the most serious way).
